PHOENIX (AP) — Golden State forward Draymond Green and Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic continued their feud on social media Tuesday, with Green calling Nurkic a “300-pound softy” three nights after the Warriors beat the Suns on Stephen Curry's last-second 3-pointer. It's the continuation of a back-and-forth that started in December, when Green hit Nurkic in the head and was suspended by the NBA. The two played against each other for the first time since then on Saturday night, exchanging words and taunts throughout. Curry hit a 33-footer with 0.7 seconds left to lift the Warriors over the Suns 113-112. You have Steph Curry on post-ups and you've got nothing.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia 76ers team president Daryl Morey expressed optimism on Friday that reigning NBA MVP Joel Embiid would return from a knee injury in time for a possible postseason run. “We're hopeful,” Morey said before the 76ers hosted the Atlanta Hawks and three days after Embiid underwent surgery on his left knee. The initial report from the 76ers said that Embiid would be “re-evaluated” in four weeks. Morey declined to describe the exact procedure that Embiid had, which would have provided a clue to the significance of the injury. “Our priority was to get a big, but we wanted to add to our playoff rotation this year,” Morey said.

LeBron James joined yet another exclusive club, and he’ll have plenty of familiar faces alongside him at the NBA All-Star Game. James is an All-Star — and an All-Star starter — for the 20th time, with the league unveiling the results of this season’s starter balloting on Thursday night. Durant is a 14-time selection now, one of only 11 players in NBA history to be picked that many times. Tatum set an All-Star Game record last season, scoring 55 points in Salt Lake City on the way to MVP honors. This year’s All-Star Game goes back to the traditional East-vs.-West format, which was utilized in the first 66 NBA midseason classics.

“It is a privilege to select the team that will help us toward the goal of once again standing atop the Olympic podium. If he plays and the U.S. wins, Durant would be the first men’s player with four basketball golds. “I will play in the Olympics,” Durant adamantly said last fall at Phoenix’s media day.

Progressives want Gavin Newsom to tap Rep. Barbara Lee to succeed Dianne Feinstein in the Senate. But such a move would reverse Newsom's earlier pledge to appoint a caretaker to the seat. "When Newsom appointed Padilla for VP seat he didn't appoint a caretaker," Khanna wrote. "She would be most prepared to step in and carry forth the work Senator Feinstein has worked on for so many decades," she told the newspaper. Lee said earlier in September that she was "troubled" by Newsom's thinking on what was then a hypothetical Senate appointment.

A flooded road in California’s Central Valley this week following winter storms. California Gov. Gavin Newsom lifted many of the state’s remaining drought restrictions, citing an unusually wet winter which has refilled most reservoirs, left the mountain snowpack at near record levels and eased, for now, fears of worsening economic malaise from the worst dry spell on record. The Democratic governor made the announcement Friday while touring flooded farm fields in the Central Valley north of Sacramento following a parade of storms which have pounded the Golden State for months. The state’s Department of Water Resources also said it would increase the amount of water it sends to cities to 75% of their allotments, up from a previous projection of 35%, this year.
